چکیده
This chapter provides an introduction to evolvable hardware. First, the basic idea of evolvable hardware is outlined. Because evolvable hardware involves the integration of programmable logic device and evolutionary computation, these are both explained briefly. Then, an overview of current research on evolvable hardware is presented. Finally, the chapter discusses some directions for future research.

Promises and Challenges of Evolvable Hardware
Evolvable hardware (EHW) has attracted increasing attention since the early 1990’s with the advent of easily reconfigurable hardware, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGA’s). It promises to provide an entirely new approach to complex electronic circuit design and new adaptive hardware. EHW has been demonstrated to be able to perform a wide range of tasks from pattern recognition to adap...
متن کاملEvolving a Cooperative Population of Neural Networks by Minimizing Mutual Information
Evolutionary ensembles with negative correlation learning (EENCL) is an evolutionary learning system for learning and designing neural network ensembles [1]. The fitness sharing used in EENCL was based on the idea of “covering” the same training patterns by shared individuals. This paper explores connection between fitness sharing and information concept, and introduces mutual information into ...

متن کاملScaling Up Fast Evolutionary Programming with Cooperative Coevolution
Evolutionary programming (EP) has been applied with success to many numerical and combinatorial optimization problems in recent years. However, most analytical and experimental results on EP have been obtained using low-dimensional problems. It is interesting to know whether the empirical results obtained from the low-dimensional problems still hold for high-dimensional cases. It was discovered...
متن کاملEvolutionary ensembles with negative correlation learning
Based on negative correlation learning and evolutionary learning, this paper presents evolutionary ensembles with negative correlation learning (EENCL) to address the issues of automatic determination of the number of individual neural networks (NNs) in an ensemble and the exploitation of the interaction between individual NN design and combination. The idea of EENCL is to encourage di erent in...
